The person that is having trouble on a windows system you need to setup ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES in the windows control panel you may also need to edit the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\host
host is a file that defines the windows localhost sometime the 127.0.0.1 is remarked out and you need to un-remark it.
You can use notepad to edit the file. Make sure you save it afterwards and restart your servers etc;
What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
